There's nothing stopping the same thing happening to HN, except the people that do it have no interest in doing so (and images don't auto-display, I guess).

They're all behind variable IP VPNs. Permanently getting rid of them is nearly impossible.

8chan deliberately set itself up such that it's impossible to do anything beyond an IP ban. This was a conscious choice they made, and that doesn't mean they get a pass on failure to enforce rules as a result.

How about Bitcoin? Does it get a pass for distributing CP? (Since IIRC there's some embedded in the blockchain)

How would you embed CP in the Bitcoin blockchain?

By making a transaction (or series of transactions) that happen to have a binary representation (or destination address, or comment, or...) that decodes to CP - the same way that you'd store any other arbitrary data there.
